Their limbs -quivered-fur au iustaut, but not a groan or a sigh was breathed. "It is done" sho whispered on -entering the boat; nud seating herself, premouisb- ed, "lako heed lest you strike the Side of the ca noe, or splash water with the paddle, till we reach tins Bay." They were soou there; aud, with the swiftness of o shark, came to its head, aud darted up the Trinity. Above, about fifty miles by laud, stood bn the western hauk, a village of Casuch.is, a piople v.ry friendly to the 'whites, and with whom Wallace was will acquainted. There he was sure of a hearty welcome, aud in tbatdirae- tinn, was certain, the Karanquas would pursue.

Yet he was so exhausted, that rest Was iudupensable— •ud Atsbah the more readily yielded to his iudi- natinu, frbm her knowledge of tho fact; that the Karauquns randy exposed themselves so far ill- laud to the fire-arms of the mounted Indiaus. At her instance, they went to the margiu of the river, aud made a green couch in a brake of palmottoes, having-betwoon the stalks a viow ot tho reach below. Wallace felt happy in tho arms of Al- iliah, endeared to him by so many evidences of unparalleled devotion, and the suushiuo of her happiness was interrupted ouly by oue cloud, the apprehension of the hnvages.

Two huudred mounted vvarrriors volunteered their services, nnd iuvited Wallace to command. Atsbah urged him to go, observing, that the Ka- rnu’qua men, being irreclaimable, ought to dir, hut thu women uhd children should be saved: for it were hotter to be h Casacba’s slave than to have a Karauqutv husband or father. The expe dition the next moruiug set out, and crossed that uigbt to thp island, without losing a horse or wet- tiugaguu.
